Why do I do it?

I usually only enter for things I want or for a gift.
I'd rather leave all the other stuff for someone who really wants it rather than have to try and find it a home.

Saying that, I have accidentally been a bit retweet/share happy on occasion!

I'm quite selective with comps, actually.

When new to comping it was quite the opposite though!

But, i have to be selective as i don't have much time on here.

I'm selective, which may explain why I've won nothing in February!!

I'm now selective with twitter after I found myself retweeting everything because like Claire says it's so easy to do!

Im selective too, i really really do not see the point personally in entering for everything " just for the win" and i truly believe thats how it is for some people, its greed. I respect everyone has a difference of opinions but while some of us will have the good thought of " i don't need this so i hope it goes to someone else who will benefit from it"... in actual fact 8/10 times it will be going to someone who is just entering for the sake of it..
I dont win masses im usually too busy, ive won some lovely things though and unless its a runners up prize then i have been overjoyed with what i have gained through my hobby,


can someone also tell me why my " thanks" are not showing on my lil pic over there <<< pls... i had 30k

I can see your thanks, perhaps there was just a little glitch at the time you posted.

I think it depends - some compers just love the buzz of winning a prize -no matter what especially early on but then we tend to get more selective after a couple of really disappointing parcels that you open full of anticipation .....and then look inside and go Oh

I have won some amazing prizes over the years but I have less time now and need to be much more selective -I'd honestly rather win nothing than a furry bug nowdays

See I've gone it again, a cycling jersey on Twitter, just the one click....I potter on my bike, I'd look stupid in it lol

I try to be selective in what I enter, but sometimes when I'm in the "comping zone" I open competitions without really looking at what it's for - I had to stop myself entering one for triathlon kit the other day :rotfl: - and I find the school run a bit of a slog!

That's when I try to slow down and read the prize details before entering.

I don't have time to be selective - by the time I've opened the thread, opened the competition and decided I don't want the prize, I could have actually entered!
